We have been serving the Syracuse area with meaningful, quality funerals, services, monuments, and cremations since 1912.
In 1912, Carl J. Ballweg opened Ballweg Funeral Service and began a legacy of serving families on the south side of Syracuse, New York. After working for Carl on South Salina Street for fifteen years, William A. Lunsford, Jr. purchased the business in 1964 and transformed it into Ballweg & Lunsford Funeral Home. Upon William’s retirement, the business stayed in the family when his grandson, Kurt W. Lester, became the owner and president in 1991.
With a passion for serving families, Kurt expanded Ballweg & Lunsford and opened a new location in LaFayette, New York, in 1995. Just a short drive from Syracuse, the LaFayette facility on Field Lane offers the same quality service for which Ballweg & Lunsford is known, but in a more modern facility in an area with a truly rural feel. With ample parking and nine acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, the LaFayette location provides the perfect alternative for families that prefer to be away from the city.
After over 100 years of serving families as an independent funeral home, Ballweg & Lunsford Funeral Home joined Foundation Partners Group (FPG) in 2016.
